Dehydrated Cherry Tomatoes
Step by step instructions to help you learn how to dehydrate tomatoes - a wonderful way to use a bumper crop of tomatoes and preserve for long term storage!
Equipment
- Dehydrator
Ingredients
- 1 lb cherry tomatoes or more
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 8 C water
Instructions
- To dehydrate cherry tomatoes, wash the tomatoes in a water bath with vinegar (2 Tbsp vinegar to 8 C. water) to remove dirt and debris. Next, slice each cherry tomato in half like the picture, above.
- Place your cut tomatoes on the trays - cut side up. They can be close, but not touching. If they are touching, they will likely fuse together during the dehydrating process.
- Once the trays are filled, turn your dehydrator on to 135 degrees. Be sure to rotate your trays for even drying (if needed). If you are in a humid area, they may take up to 24 hours to fully dry. In a normal climate, they may take anywhere from 8-16 hours.
- Allow to cool. Store in an airtight container.
